None of us having an ethical problem with Ubering then?


I've delegated my ethical judgement on this one to TfL, on the basis that if Uber flouts minimum wage or safety standards then they will lose their licence. Willing to hear arguments against using them though.


Apparently their CEO just got rated one star by the driver he had a row with :D

You get an option to rate on your receipt, KK if the journey is 'completed'


You get a 5 when you first sign up (before you take any trip) according to my driver the other night - and he, at least, uses the rating to decide whether to accept a job. They don't get to know where the ride is going but they do get the rating of the person requesting the ride. He mentioned that he never accepts anyone below a 4 and marks people down for eating/drinking in his (admittedly v clean) car.

    • Seems a pretty dangerous position to me - apart from getting in the way of pedestrians trying to cross the road large vehicles heading south have to edge into the oncoming traffic lane to get past. I've got a normal-sized car and had to squeeze through a gap the other day.  
    • When a car is left damaged by the road-side it may be that the insurer is tasked with recovering the vehicle to assess it and (possibly) take it for repair. Only if it is in a dangerous position will the police recover it - which saves money for the tax-payer.  You may also have some recovery options with e.g. the AA (other organisations are available). Were the car to have been stolen or abandoned then it will take some time to sort this out, and again unless the vehicle is in a dangerous position the police won't be rushing to deal with that. Not sure who the 'they' are in this case.
    • I wouldn't like to speculate, Sue. Not my thing. Teddy Boy is your man on the ground for that sort of first-hand detail. It's six points for driving without insurance and six points for using a phone, so that's an automatic ban of at least six months. They're going to be practically uninsurable for a considerable period after that. So, nobody's hurt, a clearly crap driver is off the road for some time and the good burghers of SE22 get a lovely, shiny new post - probably paid for by the driver. Every cloud, and that. If only Franklins wasn't changing hands, Lordship Lane would be almost perfect.
    • Was the driver still with it when the police arrived?
